Haha, Kaftans R Us... is that a new store she's opening up with Katherine Kelly Lang?

Also, from tvbythenumbers.com --- Vanderpump Rules has finally caught up to RHOBH in the ratings... they were listed above RHOBH, even though they tied in 18-45. Hopefully this tells Bravo something -- this season sucks!

Next week Carlton puts a hex on Joyce

 

 

I cant. Putting a witch on this show screams of a jumping the shark moment. She adds nothing to the cast.

[MrPrezident]

Yeah, at first I liked Carlton but now I just find her to be so hypocritical. She really adds nothing to the show other than ickiness and a hot husband. And I don't feel comfortable anytime the camera does a closeup on her face. It's just… not right.

[Mr. Vixen]

Be careful or she'll put a spell on you

Brandi -- and Yolanda -- came across very well in Sacramento. Interacting with normal RL people, Brandi can be very self-deprecating and human. Her relationship with her dad was touching, too.

But then she comes back to LA and moans about Lisa. Lisa's AWFUL! She treats me like a child! It comes off as resentment for Lisa's wealth and status, and it also comes off as looking for something, anything, to blame her for.

Lisa is an older generation to Brandi and I think she is naturally more maternal than sisterly with people. She was sharp with Brandi, telling her to "buck up" about her dog, but she was also in tears about the puppy. It looks hard but it is a very British trait -- the stiff upper lip. When things go bad, they tell you to count your blessings. Brits are actually quite shy people, especially about stuff like grief and love, and they try to cover up that shyness with humor.

Boyce swooning about her hubby's Big, Strong Defensive skills was heavy-handed. We get it! Another HW who thinks her husband is her 'king.'

Kim again half drunk in her VT. It's so weird seeing Kim being jovial because it always looks so forced.

I liked the Kyle sedar scenes even if the were obviously staged for the film crew in order to burnish her image on the show. Still, Kyle did mention way back in S1 when she was on a plane travelling that she takes one of the Jewish holy books with her for comfort. And she's talked about Mauricio being a nice Jewish boy at Reunions.

This show is seriously budget. Another warehouse gym?! Don't get me wrong, I liked the self-defense scenes and the guy teaching them very personable and good-natured (and hot). But the backdrop to all these "stories" is so blah. A boxing gym. A gun-range. Sacramento ended up looking positively luxurious in comparison.

And Carlton yet again yapping about pole-dancing. We get it. You like girls. Correction: you like pole dancers. You love the female body. Honestly, Bravo cut have cut this season down to 8 episodes and we wouldn't have missed a thing.

Just reading descriptions of what Carlton is doing puts me to sleep. She really sucks.

[Antoyne]

RHOA:

Kandi completely got Natalie AND Cynthia in line without even getting worked up. Loved every second of it.

I came into this season hating Kenya but damnit her messy ass is becoming the MVP of this season.

Porscha...still not sure why she exists let alone why she is still on the show.

The only thing these "Friend of Housewives" are succeeding at is getting slaughtered by the main cast and I'm loving it every single time.

RHOBH

I nearly thought it was going to be a Kim free episode...and then...out of nowhere, she emerges. Ugh.

Joyce and her gun and her tubby hubby. Whatever. I now realize Joyce reminds me of a young Charo. So everything about her is hilarious to me now. Give her twenty years, this is her future...

Kyle and her Big Fat Jewish Dinner...whatever. Maybe she's always done it. The fact she had a chef teaching her how to do says otherwise.

Lisa, as always, fabulous. Even in workout wear. A perfect 10.

Yolanda was extremely gracious in Sacramento and hit just the right note with Brandi's family, she was right to choose her over Lisa who would have been too different for them to handle. Lisa is high octane glamorous, and glamour isn't always approachable.

Brandi...what an angry lush.

[Cat]

I *WISH* Charo was on this show instead of Boyce. At least would have some real showbiz glamour and a sense of humor. Which reminds me -- if Sofia Vegara is ever looking for work, RHOBH should snap her up.

[Chris B]

Who they really need is La Toya Jackson! She proved on Celebrity Apprentice that she is no wallflower and she is already good friends with Lisa, Kyle and Kim (and has appeared on the show).

[Cheap21]

Latoya as a friend but definetly NOT a housewife

[Chris B]

La Toya should be one of MANY friends and after ATL this season, they ALL need to start auditioning newbies the season before so they can see if they work out before being stuck with them ala our current Beverly Hills situation.

[Cheap21]

One of the reasons ATL is working for me this season is that they have a large supporting cast and the "friends" really give the main women material to play off of. Carmen, Mama Joyce, Mynique, Natalie, Malorie, Marlo, Lexis...BH really should try and emulate that model. They had a small decent bunch with Camille, Faye and Marissa last season. Don't get why they downscaled bc the main women aren't really bringing it and they could use a supporting player to act as a catalyst for the drama. Miami also suffered when they got rid of the supporting players
